# Using Magic Prompt

The [Magic Prompt](https://docs.ideogram.ai/using-ideogram/generation-settings/magic-prompt) feature in Ideogram can be very helpful to provide additional content, details, ambiance and stylistic information in a prompt. The more basic is the prompt, the more Magic Prompt will add to it.

## From basic to magic

Let's use a simple prompt and used it to explore what the Magic Prompt would come up with.&#x20;

**Original prompt:**\
\&#xNAN;*A boy with a dog in a park.*

<figure><img src="https://1799634369-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FzjhNby3LLsIikYuvxAJP%2Fuploads%2FY2OJrRjzddvghl0xvPaj%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=80b2d47f-7ca6-4add-99c3-e82d47068bb5" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

When used, the Magic Prompt function generates a new, improved and embellished prompt based on your original prompt, then sends it to the AI to generate an image based on this new prompt. Here are two examples:

<table data-card-size="large" data-view="cards"><thead><tr><th></th><th></th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><img src="https://1799634369-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FzjhNby3LLsIikYuvxAJP%2Fuploads%2FsMw3lFRvS5KFaRamk80h%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=1fed4da9-3d06-4fbc-a13b-fcf301c44942" alt="" data-size="original"></td><td><strong>Magic Prompt:</strong><br><em>A heartwarming scene of a young boy playing with his happy, wagging dog in a lush, green park.

The overall atmosphere of the image is serene and uplifting.</em></td></tr></tbody></table>

Even if there is no mention of any style in the original prompt or in the Magic Prompts, the AI decided to generate the images in styles that seemed appropriate for the text.

## Styles with Magic Prompt

The Magic Prompt also allows you to illustrate and explain in greater detail a basic style that you can request in your prompt. Here an example:

**Original prompt:**\
\&#xNAN;*A boy with a dog in a park, <mark style="color:green;">abstract art</mark>.*

As you can see, the Magic Prompt has expanded on the original prompt while expanding and refining certain aspects of the requested style. Each proposal gave a relatively different image, while remaining within the parameters of the original prompt.

## Magic Prompt for inspiration
